Talk:Skoal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

meybe its worth to mention where the toast comses from and where it is commonly used...

I love tabacco!

jlricherson - I'm sure you do...this article has been changed to redirect to the "U.S. Smokeless Tobacco" article. The reasoning behind this is lost to me, because although USST is the parent company of the brand, the page doesn't clarify what "Skoal" is. Secondly, there is a page for Copenhagen, but this article shouldn't be a catch-all for smokeless tobacco from USST. Thirdly, the comparison between Copenhagen and Skoal shows many differences, mainly in flavors, cuts and packaging. For example: Copenhagen has "snuff" (a fine cut) that is completely different from the Skoal "Fine Cut" (Copenhagen - almost powerlike, and Skoal - granular). Skoal has a variety of flavors and is packaged in plastic cans, Copenhagen has only two, and uses cardboard cans (though outside the U.S, it comes in plastic cans). Being semi-new to this (newbie) I cannot figure out how to un-redirect and restore this to the article it was. Maybe if someone did this, I could add information as needed.

Schoyck - actually, Copenhagen is packaged into Fiberboard cans, not cardboard. Big difference. Also, one flavor is packaged in plastic cans in the United States, which is Black Bourbon.
